Hypsometric Map


This picture here is showing a Hypsometric map of the Isera Mountains. This is a hypsometric map because it clearly shows the relief by the countrouring lines, shading and tinting. Also is also a hypsometric map because these maps usually use a shading from green through yellow to brown just as it is shown here within this map. The blue line is showing the outline of the Izera Dark-Sky Park. And with the white line representing the Czech-Polish border there are bound to be segregation issues within this park.
